It has a strong chinese perspective, there are themes in the book which are sexist (weak willed females/effiminate men are at fault for dooming humanity...) and you could read a lot more into it if you wanted.

Huh, that wasn't what I took away from it while reading, might be lack of awareness on my part but I feel like saying that is a theme of the book which is sexist seems a bit much to me. could be interpreted as maybe, if you could name examples?

A legitimate Chinese perspective on early Maoist China onward. It doesn't cover up the horror that took place. The first few chapters are especially difficult - with lynchings of academics (e.g. cultural revolution). It also covers how modern chinese people deal with that.

I read them a few years ago and I remember them being pretty critical of chinese policy and the cultural revolution. The second contact with the trisolarans basically being a big FU from the scientist that was exploited her whole life by the government.

Odd. I remember some of that from the first book but Liu Cixin lives in China and doesn’t seem to suffer for it. He also wrote the source material for Wandering Earth which did very well in Chinese theatres and is pretty pro-China.
